Kuching Festival 2007

Kuching festival had started last 2 weeks ago, I went there with couple of friends. We had our dinner there, was full. This is the 2007 Kuching Festival, and time flies, I’ve been at Kuching for seven years already. Three more years I’ll be here for ten year. Few years back, beside food stalls and exhibition stalls. They also have a mini amusement park, but this few year they had focus must on selling stuff, making profit, instead of let the Kuching people have fun, relax. If it wasn’t for my friends, I think I’ll skip this year Kuching festival.

Now is month of July in the Chinese Lunar calendar, in tradition this is also the month of the ghost. The door from hell open, and let the ghost out to have fun, visit their friends *cough*, some people will prepare a lot of food to feed them in order to have good luck, some business owner will also burn a lot of “hell money” for them, in return hope their business will operate smoothly. I don’t quite believe in this stuff, but yet still have to be careful when going out.

So my dear reader, I wish you all happy month of ghost. Drive slowly, and take care.
